Abstract

This study aimed to compare the life skills about interpersonal relationship skills, stress management skills, and decision-making skills amongst intercollegiate athletes and non-athletes of government girls’ higher secondary schools in district Mardan, Pakistan. The researcher followed a descriptive survey research design to meet the set objectives of the study. girl athletes and non-athletes from Government Higher Secondary schools of District, Mardan with age range 15-21 years of class 9th, 10th, 1st year, and 2nd year constituted the target population for the current study. A close-ended adapted questionnaire University of Pretoria (South Africa) using a Likert scale from “strongly disagree” to “strongly agree” was used to collect the required information from the participants consisting of girls’ athletes and non-athletes from government higher secondary schools of district, Mardan. A total of 568 questionnaires were administered among the participants and 468 questionnaires with (an 82.39%) ratios were received back. For an inclusive assessment of life skills, different attributes were labeled to each life skill, whereas all 34 items were assigned to 04 skills in the questionnaire. The collected data were properly tabulated and processed through descriptive and inferential statistical techniques. The findings of the study indicated that sport has produced a positive role in the development of life skills among athletes as compared with non-athletes. This finding can be helpful for those who intend to develop and promote the sport in their respective areas. It has been concluded that participants acknowledged the role that sport has essential in the development of life skills such as interpersonal relationships (2.90), stress management (2.37), decision making (2.66), and problem-solving skills (2.49). However, it was noticed that urban school athletes produced a higher mean score on one life skill such as interpersonal relationships (2.93) and the rest of life skills mean scores are lower. It is recommended that school sports participation of girls may be ensured/enhanced to develop and promote the positive life skills necessary for products as well as a dynamic role in society.

巴基斯坦马尔丹县公立女子高中校际运动员与非运动员生活技能的比较
本研究旨在比较巴基斯坦马尔丹地区公立女子高级中学校际运动员和非运动员的人际关系技能、压力管理技能和决策技能等生活技能。研究人员采用了描述性调查研究设计,以实现既定的研究目标。来自马尔丹区公立高等中学的 15 至 21 岁九年级、十年级、一年级和二年级的女生运动员和非运动员构成了本次研究的目标人群。南非比勒陀利亚大学采用从 "非常不同意 "到 "非常同意 "的李克特量表,对马尔丹县公立高级中学的女生运动员和非运动员进行了封闭式问卷调查,以收集所需的信息。共向参与者发放了 568 份问卷,收回 468 份,回收率为 82.39%。为了对生活技能进行全面评估,对每项生活技能都标注了不同的属性,而问卷中的所有 34 个项目都被分配给了 04 项技能。对收集到的数据进行了适当的制表,并通过描述性和推论性统计技术进行了处理。研究结果表明,与非运动员相比,体育运动在培养运动员的生活技能方面发挥了积极作用。这一发现对于那些打算在各自领域发展和推广体育运动的人来说是有帮助的。研究得出的结论是,参与者承认体育在发展生活技能方面发挥了重要作用,如人际关系 (2.90)、压力管理(2.37)、决策(2.66)和解决问题的技能(2.49)。然而,我们注意到,城市学校运动员在人际关系(2.93)等一项生活技能上的平均得分较高,而其他生活技能的平均得分较低。建议确保/加强女生参加学校体育运动,以发展和促进产品所需的积极生活技能,并在社会中发挥积极作用。
